How To Make MONTEREY SAUSAGE PIE

It’s a snap to make this dish using baking mix. I got the idea from a similar recipe with hamburger and cheddar cheese. That version was too bland for my family, but I made a few changes and this is a hit!

Ingredients:

1 pound Bulk Pork Sausage

3 teaspoons Minced Garlic

2-½ cups Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese, Divided

1-⅓ cup Milk

3 whole Eggs

¾ cups Biscuit/baking Mix

¾ teaspoons Rubbed Sage

¼ teaspoons Pepper

Directions:

In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until meat is no longer pink.

Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain.

Stir in 2 cups cheese. Transfer to a greased 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.

In a small bowl, combine the milk, eggs, biscuit mix, sage and pepper.

Pour over sausage mixture.

Bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; bake 1-2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

Enjoy!!

How To Make Pineapple Bread Pudding

I must warn you upfront. Once you make this dish you will never be able to forget it! This Pineapple Bread Pudding is ridiculously easy to make and even easier to indulge in.

Serve it alongside a baked ham or top it with a scoop of ice cream for dessert. It’s become an absolute staple at our holiday dinners. I don’t think I’d be let in the door without it! However you serve it, it’s bound to have people singing your praises and asking for the recipe. Whether you tell them just how easy it is… that’s up to you!

This is a delicious way to use up stale bread that you have on hand. Stale bread is excellent at soaking up sweet and tangy pineapple flavor. Top it off with a layer of brown sugar that is lightly toasted in the oven and you have fruity perfection!

I typically serve this dish just as written, but you’re welcome to top it with additional pineapple rings or maraschino cherries for a little pop of color. Stale bread will give you the best results here. If you’ve only got fresh bread to work with, spread the slices out on a baking sheet and leave them overnight. In the morning your bread will be dry and ready to soak up all the pineapple goodness!

Ingredients:

½ cup butter (1 stick), melted

1 cup white sugar

6 eggs

½ tablespoon vanilla extract

6 thick slices of white bread, cubed

1 20oz can crushed pineapple, drained

½ cup packed brown sugar

How To Make Ruth’s grandmother’s pie crust

My grandmother knew how to make the best pancakes every year for Thanksgiving. The crust is soft, flaky and easy to prepare! You will never buy in the store again!
Every year we look forward to going to my grandmother’s house for Thanksgiving. She was best cook I know. She raised 8 children and had a home cooked meal on the table every night. She spent all her time in the kitchen. She made all of her bread by hand and was great at making anything from scratch.
I remember staying with them for a few weeks in the summer and she always made a bagel or a batch of peanut butter cookies. As soon as the hot bread came out of the oven, I cut it into slices and we ate a whole loaf. She was an incredible baker.

The old fashioned custard pie

This silky creamy custard pie offers eggs, cream, milk, sugar and vanilla in an incredibly sweet creamy treat that prepares in a matter of minutes.
Remember the way our ancestors used to cook with healthy ingredients that everyone knows by name? There was no mixed box and shortcuts. What you put in a cake you take out straight from the farm or the farmers market. This silky, creamy custard pie reminds me of my grandmothers cooking. When she was cooking everything seemed to come together quickly and easily but tasted very exceptional.
A delicious custard pie has six ingredients if you buy an uncooked pie crust. I know what you’re thinking Grandma would never do. You’re right but times were different back then and there wasn’t as much of a distraction back then as it is now.
